Thats not the way it is supposed to be encoded.  You need a section
for the pause button for each program,

Such as:

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = Power
    config = Esc
end

begin
  prog = mplayer
  button = Power
  config = quit
end

When done correctly they do not interfere with each other.

It has been my expierence that myth wants its lircrc in
the  ~./mythtv directory but all other programs expect it
in ~.lircrc

I just use a link from one to the other, and I have my entire
config in one file.  Only one place to make changes.
Mine handles myth, mplayer, and xmms.

And for the record (and for google)  here is my file.
